2015-03-17pagemap: do not leak physical addresses to non-privileged userspaceKirill A. Shutemov
As pointed by recent post[1] on exploiting DRAM physical imperfection, /proc/PID/pagemap exposes sensitive information which can be used to do attacks. This disallows anybody without CAP_SYS_ADMIN to read the pagemap.

2015-02-17vmcore: fix PT_NOTE n_namesz, n_descsz overflow issueWANG Chao
When updating PT_NOTE header size (ie. p_memsz), an overflow issue happens with the following bogus note entry: n_namesz = 0xFFFFFFFF n_descsz = 0x0 n_type = 0x0 This kind of note entry should be dropped during updating p_memsz. But because n_namesz is 32bit, after (n_namesz + 3) & (~3), it's overflow to 0x0, the note entry size looks sane and reserved. When userspace (eg. crash utility) is trying to access such bogus note, it could lead to an unexpected behavior (eg. crash utility segment fault because it's reading bogus address). The source of bogus note hasn't been identified yet. At least we could drop the bogus note so user space wouldn't be surprised.

2015-02-12fs: proc: task_mmu: show page size in /proc/<pid>/numa_mapsRafael Aquini
The output of /proc/$pid/numa_maps is in terms of number of pages like anon=22 or dirty=54. Here's some output: 7f4680000000 default file=/hugetlb/bigfile anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50 7f7659600000 default file=/anon_hugepage\040(deleted) anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50 7fff8d425000 default stack anon=50 dirty=50 N0=50 Looks like we have a stack and a couple of anonymous hugetlbfs areas page which both use the same amount of memory. They don't. The 'bigfile' uses 1GB pages and takes up ~50GB of space. The anon_hugepage uses 2MB pages and takes up ~100MB of space while the stack uses normal 4k pages. You can go over to smaps to figure out what the page size _really_ is with KernelPageSize or MMUPageSize. But, I think this is a pretty nasty and counterintuitive interface as it stands. This patch introduces 'kernelpagesize_kB' line element to /proc/<pid>/numa_maps report file in order to help identifying the size of pages that are backing memory areas mapped by a given task. This is specially useful to help differentiating between HUGE and GIGANTIC page backed VMAs.

2015-02-11mm: pagewalk: fix misbehavior of walk_page_range for vma(VM_PFNMAP)Naoya Horiguchi
walk_page_range() silently skips vma having VM_PFNMAP set, which leads to undesirable behaviour at client end (who called walk_page_range). For example for pagemap_read(), when no callbacks are called against VM_PFNMAP vma, pagemap_read() may prepare pagemap data for next virtual address range at wrong index. That could confuse and/or break userspace applications. This patch avoid this misbehavior caused by vma(VM_PFNMAP) like follows: - for pagemap_read() which has its own ->pte_hole(), call the ->pte_hole() over vma(VM_PFNMAP), - for clear_refs and queue_pages which have their own ->tests_walk, just return 1 and skip vma(VM_PFNMAP). This is no problem because these are not interested in hole regions, - for other callers, just skip the vma(VM_PFNMAP) as a default behavior.

2015-02-11pagemap: use walk->vma instead of calling find_vma()Naoya Horiguchi
Page table walker has the information of the current vma in mm_walk, so we don't have to call find_vma() in each pagemap_(pte|hugetlb)_range() call any longer. Currently pagemap_pte_range() does vma loop itself, so this patch reduces many lines of code. NULL-vma check is omitted because we assume that we never run these callbacks on any address outside vma. And even if it were broken, NULL pointer dereference would be detected, so we can get enough information for debugging. Signed-off-by: Naoya Horiguchi <n-horiguchi@ah.jp.nec.com> Cc: "Kirill A.

2015-02-11mm: account pmd page tables to the processKirill A. Shutemov
Dave noticed that unprivileged process can allocate significant amount of memory -- >500 MiB on x86_64 -- and stay unnoticed by oom-killer and memory cgroup. The trick is to allocate a lot of PMD page tables. Linux kernel doesn't account PMD tables to the process, only PTE. The use-cases below use few tricks to allocate a lot of PMD page tables while keeping VmRSS and VmPTE low. oom_score for the process will be 0. #include <errno.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <sys/mman.h> #include <sys/prctl.h> #define PUD_SIZE (1UL << 30) #define PMD_SIZE (1UL << 21) #define NR_PUD 130000 int main(void) { char *addr = NULL; unsigned long i; prctl(PR_SET_THP_DISABLE); for (i = 0; i < NR_PUD ; i++) { addr = mmap(addr + PUD_SIZE, PUD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ, MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE, -1, 0); if (addr == MAP_FAILED) { perror("mmap"); break; } *addr = 'x'; munmap(addr, PMD_SIZE); mmap(addr, PMD_SIZE, PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ, MAP_ANONYMOUS|MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_FIXED, -1, 0); if (addr == MAP_FAILED) perror("re-mmap"), exit(1); } printf("PID %d consumed %lu KiB in PMD page tables\n", getpid(), i * 4096 >> 10); return pause(); } The patch addresses the issue by account PMD tables to the process the same way we account PTE. The main place where PMD tables is accounted is __pmd_alloc() and free_pmd_range(). But there're few corner cases: - HugeTLB can share PMD page tables. The patch handles by accounting the table to all processes who share it. - x86 PAE pre-allocates few PMD tables on fork. - Architectures with FIRST_USER_ADDRESS > 0. We need to adjust sanity check on exit(2). Accounting only happens on configuration where PMD page table's level is present (PMD is not folded). As with nr_ptes we use per-mm counter. The counter value is used to calculate baseline for badness score by oom-killer. Signed-off-by: Kirill A.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace Pull user namespace related fixes from Eric Biederman: "As these are bug fixes almost all of thes changes are marked for backporting to stable. The first change (implicitly adding MNT_NODEV on remount) addresses a regression that was created when security issues with unprivileged remount were closed. I go on to update the remount test to make it easy to detect if this issue reoccurs. Then there are a handful of mount and umount related fixes. Then half of the changes deal with the a recently discovered design bug in the permission checks of gid_map. Unix since the beginning has allowed setting group permissions on files to less than the user and other permissions (aka ---rwx---rwx). As the unix permission checks stop as soon as a group matches, and setgroups allows setting groups that can not later be dropped, results in a situtation where it is possible to legitimately use a group to assign fewer privileges to a process. Which means dropping a group can increase a processes privileges. The fix I have adopted is that gid_map is now no longer writable without privilege unless the new file /proc/self/setgroups has been set to permanently disable setgroups. The bulk of user namespace using applications even the applications using applications using user namespaces without privilege remain unaffected by this change. Unfortunately this ix breaks a couple user space applications, that were relying on the problematic behavior (one of which was tools/selftests/mount/unprivileged-remount-test.c). To hopefully prevent needing a regression fix on top of my security fix I rounded folks who work with the container implementations mostly like to be affected and encouraged them to test the changes. > So far nothing broke on my libvirt-lxc test bed. :-) > Tested with openSUSE 13.2 and libvirt 1.2.9. > Tested-by: Richard Weinberger <richard@nod.at> > Tested on Fedora20 with libvirt 1.2.11, works fine. > Tested-by: Chen Hanxiao <chenhanxiao@cn.fujitsu.com> > Ok, thanks - yes, unprivileged lxc is working fine with your kernels. > Just to be sure I was testing the right thing I also tested using > my unprivileged nsexec testcases, and they failed on setgroup/setgid > as now expected, and succeeded there without your patches. > Tested-by: Serge Hallyn <serge.hallyn@ubuntu.com> > I tested this with Sandstorm.

2014-12-13genirq: Prevent proc race against freeing of irq descriptorsThomas Gleixner
Since the rework of the sparse interrupt code to actually free the unused interrupt descriptors there exists a race between the /proc interfaces to the irq subsystem and the code which frees the interrupt descriptor. CPU0 CPU1 show_interrupts() desc = irq_to_desc(X); free_desc(desc) remove_from_radix_tree(); kfree(desc); raw_spinlock_irq(&desc->lock); /proc/interrupts is the only interface which can actively corrupt kernel memory via the lock access. /proc/stat can only read from freed memory. Extremly hard to trigger, but possible. The interfaces in /proc/irq/N/ are not affected by this because the removal of the proc file is serialized in procfs against concurrent readers/writers. The removal happens before the descriptor is freed. For architectures which have CONFIG_SPARSE_IRQ=n this is a non issue as the descriptor is never freed. It's merely cleared out with the irq descriptor lock held. So any concurrent proc access will either see the old correct value or the cleared out ones. Protect the lookup and access to the irq descriptor in show_interrupts() with the sparse_irq_lock. Provide kstat_irqs_usr() which is protecting the lookup and access with sparse_irq_lock and switch /proc/stat to use it. Document the existing kstat_irqs interfaces so it's clear that the caller needs to take care about protection. The users of these interfaces are either not affected due to SPARSE_IRQ=n or already protected against removal.

2014-12-11userns: Add a knob to disable setgroups on a per user namespace basisEric W. Biederman
- Expose the knob to user space through a proc file /proc/<pid>/setgroups A value of "deny" means the setgroups system call is disabled in the current processes user namespace and can not be enabled in the future in this user namespace. A value of "allow" means the segtoups system call is enabled. - Descendant user namespaces inherit the value of setgroups from their parents. - A proc file is used (instead of a sysctl) as sysctls currently do not allow checking the permissions at open time. - Writing to the proc file is restricted to before the gid_map for the user namespace is set. This ensures that disabling setgroups at a user namespace level will never remove the ability to call setgroups from a process that already has that ability. A process may opt in to the setgroups disable for itself by creating, entering and configuring a user namespace or by calling setns on an existing user namespace with setgroups disabled. Processes without privileges already can not call setgroups so this is a noop. Prodcess with privilege become processes without privilege when entering a user namespace and as with any other path to dropping privilege they would not have the ability to call setgroups. So this remains within the bounds of what is possible without a knob to disable setgroups permanently in a user namespace. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: "Eric W.

2014-12-10take the targets of /proc/*/ns/* symlinks to separate fsAl Viro
New pseudo-filesystem: nsfs. Targets of /proc/*/ns/* live there now. It's not mountable (not even registered, so it's not in /proc/filesystems, etc.). Files on it *are* bindable - we explicitly permit that in do_loopback(). This stuff lives in fs/nsfs.c now; proc_ns_fget() moved there as well. get_proc_ns() is a macro now (it's simply returning ->i_private; would have been an inline, if not for header ordering headache). proc_ns_inode() is an ex-parrot. The interface used in procfs is ns_get_path(path, task, ops) and ns_get_name(buf, size, task, ops). Dentries and inodes are never hashed; a non-counting reference to dentry is stashed in ns_common (removed by ->d_prune()) and reused by ns_get_path() if present. See ns_get_path()/ns_prune_dentry/nsfs_evict() for details of that mechanism. As the result, proc_ns_follow_link() has stopped poking in nd->path.mnt; it does nd_jump_link() on a consistent <vfsmount,dentry> pair it gets from ns_get_path().

2014-12-10fs/proc: use a rb tree for the directory entriesNicolas Dichtel
When a lot of netdevices are created, one of the bottleneck is the creation of proc entries. This serie aims to accelerate this part. The current implementation for the directories in /proc is using a single linked list. This is slow when handling directories with large numbers of entries (eg netdevice-related entries when lots of tunnels are opened). This patch replaces this linked list by a red-black tree. Here are some numbers: dummy30000.batch contains 30 000 times 'link add type dummy'. Before the patch: $ time ip -b dummy30000.batch real 2m31.950s user 0m0.440s sys 2m21.440s $ time rmmod dummy real 1m35.764s user 0m0.000s sys 1m24.088s After the patch: $ time ip -b dummy30000.batch real 2m0.874s user 0m0.448s sys 1m49.720s $ time rmmod dummy real 1m13.988s user 0m0.000s sys 1m1.008s The idea of improving this part was suggested by Thierry Herbelot.

2014-12-10mm: fix huge zero page accounting in smaps reportKirill A. Shutemov
As a small zero page, huge zero page should not be accounted in smaps report as normal page. For small pages we rely on vm_normal_page() to filter out zero page, but vm_normal_page() is not designed to handle pmds. We only get here due hackish cast pmd to pte in smaps_pte_range() -- pte and pmd format is not necessary compatible on each and every architecture. Let's add separate codepath to handle pmds. follow_trans_huge_pmd() will detect huge zero page for us. We would need pmd_dirty() helper to do this properly.

Part of this process is to remove the return code of seq_printf() and friends as they are rather inconsistent. It is better to use the new function seq_has_overflowed() if you want to stop processing when the buffer is full. Note, if the buffer is full, the seq_file code will throw away the contents, allocate a bigger buffer, and then call your code again to fill in the data. The only thing that breaking out of the function early does is to save a little time which is probably never noticed. I started with patches from Joe Perches and modified them as well. There's many more places that need to be updated before we can convert seq_printf() and friends to return void. But this patch set introduces the seq_has_overflowed() and does some initial updates."

2014-11-18x86, mpx: Introduce VM_MPX to indicate that a VMA is MPX specificQiaowei Ren
MPX-enabled applications using large swaths of memory can potentially have large numbers of bounds tables in process address space to save bounds information. These tables can take up huge swaths of memory (as much as 80% of the memory on the system) even if we clean them up aggressively. In the worst-case scenario, the tables can be 4x the size of the data structure being tracked. IOW, a 1-page structure can require 4 bounds-table pages. Being this huge, our expectation is that folks using MPX are going to be keen on figuring out how much memory is being dedicated to it. So we need a way to track memory use for MPX. If we want to specifically track MPX VMAs we need to be able to distinguish them from normal VMAs, and keep them from getting merged with normal VMAs. A new VM_ flag set only on MPX VMAs does both of those things. With this flag, MPX bounds-table VMAs can be distinguished from other VMAs, and userspace can also walk /proc/$pid/smaps to get memory usage for MPX. In addition to this flag, we also introduce a special ->vm_ops specific to MPX VMAs (see the patch "add MPX specific mmap interface"), but currently different ->vm_ops do not by themselves prevent VMA merging, so we still need this flag. We understand that VM_ flags are scarce and are open to other options.

2014-10-14mm: softdirty: enable write notifications on VMAs after VM_SOFTDIRTY clearedPeter Feiner
For VMAs that don't want write notifications, PTEs created for read faults have their write bit set. If the read fault happens after VM_SOFTDIRTY is cleared, then the PTE's softdirty bit will remain clear after subsequent writes. Here's a simple code snippet to demonstrate the bug: char* m = mmap(NULL, getpagesize(), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANONYMOUS | MAP_SHARED, -1, 0); system("echo 4 > /proc/$PPID/clear_refs"); /* clear VM_SOFTDIRTY */ assert(*m == '\0'); /* new PTE allows write access */ assert(!soft_dirty(x)); *m = 'x'; /* should dirty the page */ assert(soft_dirty(x)); /* fails */ With this patch, write notifications are enabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is cleared. Furthermore, to avoid unnecessary faults, write notifications are disabled when VM_SOFTDIRTY is set. As a side effect of enabling and disabling write notifications with care, this patch fixes a bug in mprotect where vm_page_prot bits set by drivers were zapped on mprotect. An analogous bug was fixed in mmap by commit c9d0bf241451 ("mm: uncached vma support with writenotify").
